If you wish to block people bulk downloading, by adding a firewall rule. Perhaps the best thing to do is not to block the ip but put a bandwidth limit on the ip address, so your site just ends up appearing very very very slow if they try to bulk download. That way they will probably not draw a link between the Browser string, and a disconnectoin from the site (: Regards, - jacob _____________________________________- JacobRhoden - http://rhoden.id.au/
